Inspired by a dish from my hometown, I created this easy miso lime glazed salmon recipe with a citrus crema. This savory twist on a classic salmon dish pairs well with roasted veggies and sticky rice.

In a small saucepan over low heat, whisk together mirin, miso paste, soy sauce, brown sugar, and lime juice. Leave on low heat to simmer and thicken.

Heat a well-oiled pan over medium-high heat. Add salmon filets face down to get a good sear. This may take 2-3 minutes per side. Then, remove from heat.
